The eighth game in the Fire Emblem series, the third release for the Game Boy Advance, and the second to be released outside of Japan. This game stars the royal twins of Renais, Eirika and Ephraim, as they try to find out why neighbouring kingdom Grado attacked their land and investigate into rumours of the Demon King being revived.

Sacred Stones brings back many features last seen in Fire Emblem Gaiden, such as a world map the protagonists navigate before battles and freely repeatable skirmishes that allow the player to grind up strength if they are struggling. It also introduces split promotions, allowing a unit to take an alternative route for their growth.

Fire Emblem Reawakening is an example of a "blitz" hack, and the only one to have reached completion in its original deadline since the original Void's Blitzarre Adventure. It is also known as Community Blitz 4, as part of a sequence of "Community Blitzes" paralleling Void's Blitzarre Adventure and its sequel. Of these, Resonance, Community Blitz 1, ever got anywhere, with the "Weekly Blitz" (CB2) falling victim to exam stresses and "Peer's Successful Blitz"(CB3) did not succeed and a broken release was rushed out by other team members.

In the spirit of the blitz, this hack does not place focus on story. The gameplay is present and correct, lasting for 23 chapters. Note that the hacker's debugging tools have been left intact to escape from any potential game-breaking bugs.
